Hear what the Minister of Infrastructure’s election bottomline is - move Auckland’s port operations north to Marsden Point. Skip to 5 mins 30 secs to hear his thoughts. https://t.co/EtL2iNLleU
Auckland Central MP @nikkikaye has always been one of our strongest supporters.
Congratulations Nikki on your appointment as deputy leader of your political party!

Together, New Zealanders have saved thousands of lives.
Now it's time to rebuild.
Let's make #Auckland the world's best waterfront city, by 2029.

"We can and must find better freight solutions and revive the Waitemata and our waterfront to its full potential." - Company director and former union leader Rob Campbell
Ports of Auckland is paying no interim dividend this year, and its final dividend will be less than the $8.7 million forecast. The recent govt taskforce said it occupies land worth $6 billion. Its controversial automation project is also behind schedule.

Already, 30% of imports consumed in Auckland enter NZ through Tauranga rather than the CBD container port.
This deal will continue the trend of business moving from ALK to TRG, as the CBD port becomes ever-less economically & environmentally viable.

Follow our campaign.

Regardless of who is to blame for this latest fiasco, it underlines again that the current Auckland waterfront arrangements are broken and need fixing. 2020 has to be decision time to #MoveThePort.

Here’s one idea for how some waterfront land could be used when the containers and cars go elsewhere. There will need to be some years of discussion and debate by Aucklanders, led by the Mayor @phil_goff, once a final decision is made to #MoveThePort.

One of the things the port's cheerleaders always say is "we all agree the port has to move".
And then they come up with ridiculous options to ensure it will never happen.
Here's a classic example.
